PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT
The notes have not been and will not be registered under the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act of Japan, or the FIEA, and are subject to the
Act on Special Measures Concerning Taxation of Japan, or the Special Taxation Measures Act. The notes may not be offered or sold in Japan, to any
person resident in Japan, or to others for reoffering or resale directly or indirectly in Japan or to a person resident in Japan, for Japanese securities law
purposes (including any corporation or other entity organized under the laws of Japan) except pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements
of, and otherwise in compliance with, the FIEA and any other applicable laws, regulations and governmental guidelines of Japan. In addition, the notes are
not, as part of the distribution by the underwriters under the applicable underwriting agreement at any time, to be directly or indirectly offered or sold to, or
for the benefit of, any person other than a beneficial owner that is, (i) for Japanese tax purposes, neither an individual resident of Japan or a Japanese
corporation, nor an individual non-resident of Japan or a non-Japanese corporation that in either case is a person having a special relationship with the
issuer of the notes as described in Article 6, Paragraph (4) of the Special Taxation Measures Act, or a specially-related person of the issuer or (ii) a
Japanese financial institution, designated in Article 6, Paragraph (9) of the Special Taxation Measures Act, except as specifically permitted under the
Special Taxation Measures Act.
Interest payments on the notes will be subject to Japanese withholding tax unless it is established that the notes are held by or for the account of a
beneficial owner that is (i) for Japanese tax purposes, neither an individual resident of Japan or a Japanese corporation, nor an individual non-resident of
Japan or a non-Japanese corporation that in either case is a specially-related person of the issuer, (ii) a Japanese financial institution designated in Article 6,
Paragraph (9) of the Special Taxation Measures Act which complies with the requirement for tax exemption under that paragraph or (iii) a Japanese public
corporation, financial institution or financial instruments business operator described in Article 3-3, Paragraph (6) of the Special Taxation Measures Act
which complies with the requirement for tax exemption under that paragraph.
Interest payments on the notes to an individual resident of Japan, to a Japanese corporation (except as described in the preceding paragraph), or to an
individual non-resident of Japan or a non-Japanese corporation that in either case is a specially-related person of the issuer will be subject to deduction in
respect of Japanese income tax at a rate of 15.315% (15% on or after January 1, 2038) of the amount of such interest.
Representation by Investor upon Distribution
By subscribing to any notes, an investor will be deemed to have represented that it is a beneficial owner who is, (i) for Japanese tax purposes, neither
an individual resident of Japan or a Japanese corporation, nor an individual non-resident of Japan or a non-Japanese corporation that in either case is a
person having a special relationship with the issuer of the notes as described in Article 6, Paragraph (4) of the Special Taxation Measures Act or (ii) a
Japanese financial institution, designated in Article 6, Paragraph (9) of the Special Taxation Measures Act.
PROHIBITION OF SALES TO EEA AND U.K. RETAIL INVESTORS--The notes are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made
available to and should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor in the European Economic Area, or the EEA, or in the United
Kingdom, or the U.K. For these purposes, a retail investor means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client as defined in point (11) of Article 4(1)
of Directive 2014/65/EU, as amended, or MiFID II; or (ii) a customer within the meaning of Directive (EU) 2016/97, or the Insurance Distribution
Directive, where that customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II. Consequently no key
information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014, as amended, or the PRIIPs Regulation, for offering or selling the notes or otherwise
making them available to retail investors in the EEA or in the U.K. has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the notes or otherwise making them
available to any retail investor in the EEA or in the U.K. may be unlawful under the PRIIPs Regulation.

Recent Developments and Outlook
Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic
We are closely monitoring developments related to the COVID-19 pandemic to assess its ongoing impact on our business. Since the onset of the
COVID-19 outbreak, our business has been subject to a variety of adverse impacts, including to our financial results for the fiscal year ended
March 31, 2020. In particular, challenging global economic conditions and significant volatility in financial markets contributed to increased credit-
related costs and declines in the value of our securities holdings, which negatively affected our results of operations for the fiscal year. For more
information, refer to "Item 3.D. Key Information--Risk Factors" and "Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects" in our most recent
annual report on Form 20-F filed with the SEC.
We are also expecting the COVID-19 pandemic to have a substantial negative impact on our consolidated earnings and profitability for the
fiscal year ending March 31, 2021 (as compared to the prior fiscal year), with

S-1
Table of Contents
the greater impact occurring in the first half of the fiscal year. We expect the impact will primarily be due to a decrease in consolidated net business
profit resulting from lower profit in our businesses, including wealth management, and an increase in credit costs, reflecting our expectation of further
deterioration in the macroeconomic environment and an increase in the provision for loan losses. We also expect an increase in risk-weighted assets
which will have a small negative impact on our capital ratios.
The outlook for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2021 set forth above is based on earnings forecasts that we prepared under Japanese GAAP,
which is the basis of accounting that we use for financial reporting purposes in Japan. See "Presentation of Financial and Other Information." We do
not publish forecasts of our results of operations prepared on an IFRS basis, and it is uncertain whether our outlook for the fiscal year ending
March 31, 2021 would be substantially different if it had been based on earnings forecasts that we prepared under IFRS. Historically, there have been
significant differences in our reported results of operations under IFRS and Japanese GAAP. For example, in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020,
there was a significant difference in the calculation of the allowance for loan losses, which partially reflects a methodological difference in the way
that IFRS and Japanese GAAP incorporate information about the external environment, including the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the
economic outlook, in credit risk assessments. As a result, we recorded significantly higher provisions for loan losses under IFRS than under Japanese
GAAP for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020. See "Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects--Overview--Critical Accounting
Estimates and Judgments--Allowance for Loan Losses" in our most recent annual report on Form 20-F. Accounting differences such as this may
continue to result in large variances in our reported financial results under IFRS and Japanese GAAP. See "Item 5.A. Operating Results--
Reconciliation with Japanese GAAP" in our most recent annual report on Form 20-F for a summary of certain differences between IFRS and
Japanese GAAP.
Our current expectations of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our Japanese GAAP earnings outlook for the fiscal year ending
March 31, 2021 are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking
statements are based on management's current beliefs and expectations, speak only as of the date of this prospectus supplement, and are subject to
significant risks and uncertainties. Our Japanese GAAP earnings outlook was formulated based on specific estimates, judgments and assumptions,
including prospective assumptions about the operating environment, macroeconomic conditions and the financial and operating conditions of our
customers and counterparties. Due to the significant risks and uncertainties associated with these estimates, judgments and assumptions, as well as
the continuously evolving nature of the COVID-19 crisis, from both a global public health and economic standpoint in Japan and overseas, there can
be no assurance that the actual impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our results will be in line with our current expectations. For example, if the
deterioration in macroeconomic conditions, particularly in sectors or geographies to which we have greater exposure, turns out to be more severe
than anticipated, we may be required to record higher credit costs than we currently anticipate. We do not undertake to update any forward-looking
statements.
See "Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" and "Item 3.D. Key Information--Risk Factors" in our most recent
annual report on Form 20-F for a further discussion of risks and uncertainties, including risks specifically related to the impact of the COVID-19
pandemic on our business, results of operations and financial condition, and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially because
of those risks and uncertainties.

PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT
Offering Price
100% of the principal amount plus accrued interest from July 8, 2020, if settlement occurs
after that date.

Maturity
The 10-year notes will mature on July 8, 2030.

Payment of Principal and Interest for the 10-year Notes Interest on the 10-year notes will accrue at the rate of 2.130% per annum from July 8, 2020.

We will pay interest on the 10-year notes semiannually in arrears on January 8 and July 8 of
each year, beginning on January 8, 2021, to the persons in whose names the 10-year notes
are registered as of the close of business on the fifteenth day before the due date for payment

(whether or not a business day). Interest on the 10-year notes will be paid to but excluding
the relevant interest payment date. We will compute interest on the 10-year notes on the basis
of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.

If any payment is due on the 10-year notes on a day that is not a business day, we will make
payment on the date that is the next succeeding business day. Payments postponed to the next
succeeding business day in this situation will be treated as if they were made on the original

due date. Postponement of this kind will not result in a default under the notes, and no
interest will accrue on the postponed amount from the original due date to the next
succeeding business day.

We will pay 100% of the principal amount of the 10-year notes at the maturity date.

Global Security
The notes of each series will be initially represented by one or more global certificates in
definitive, fully registered form without interest coupons, or global securities. The global
securities will be deposited upon issuance with the custodian for DTC and registered in the
name of DTC or its nominee. Beneficial interests in the global securities may be held only
through DTC (or any successor clearing system that holds global securities) and its
participants, including Euroclear and Clearstream.

Beneficial interests in the global securities will be shown on, and transfers thereof will be
effected only through, records maintained by the depositaries and their participants. The sole
holder of the notes represented by a global security will at all times be DTC or its nominee
(or a successor of DTC or its nominee), and voting and other consensual rights of holders of

each series of the notes will be exercisable by beneficial owners of the notes only indirectly
through the rules and procedures of the depositaries from time to time in effect. Beneficial
interests in the global securities may not be exchanged for definitive notes except in the
limited circumstances described under "Description of the Debt Securities--Form, Book-
entry and Transfer" in the accompanying prospectus.

qualify as internal TLAC, to SMBC. SMBC intends to use the proceeds of the loans for
general corporate purposes.

The Bank of New York Mellon will act as the trustee, paying agent, transfer agent and
